Time Is (Not) On My Side.

Deepak Reju over at Church Matters: The 9Marks Blog quotes Donald Whitney’s Ten Questions to Ask at the Start of the New Year.

Here is the question that stood out most to me:

5. What is the single biggest time-waster in your life, and what will you do about it this year?

I’m becoming more and more convinced that time is one of our rarest resources. Once it is gone you can never make more of it; once it passes you can not recapture what has been wasted.

Jesus reminds us that none of can add a single hour to our lives (Matt. 6:27; Luke 12:25). What we need is wisdom from God to number our days in such a way that we honor Him (Ps. 90:12).

What about you? What will be your greatest challenge in 2010? To see the rest of the list follow this link to Deepak’s post.

Ten Goals for ‘10

1. Read at least 26 books
2. Complete The Bible in 90 Days at least two times
3. Establish and maintain a regular morning devotional time
4. Establish and maintain a regular exercise schedule
5. Finish EFCA licensing paper
6. Take at least one personal spiritual retreat
7. Keep a weekly Sabbath
8. Identify my blog 'niche' and blog at least three times a week
9. Don't buy a new book until I've read two old books
10. Reduce my 'stuff' to only those things I actually use

Do you think these are reasonable goals?
